Blue mission, mercenary union

In the end, Baili Hongzhuang's gaze focused on a verdant green medicinal herb.

The herb was entirely green, like an emerald, with a clear and pure color, devoid of any impurities.

At first glance, it resembled a vine, but it emitted a faint and captivating fragrance.

A trace of delight appeared in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes. She didn't expect Gu Cangyun to possess such a treasure.

The Fragrant Lotus Vine, a highly precious medicinal herb with versatile effects, was needed for several of the elixirs she knew.

However, the Fragrant Lotus Vine had very demanding growth conditions, resulting in extremely limited production. Normally, it could only be found at auction houses, and its price was exorbitant.

"This old man finally did something good after his death."

Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly as she carefully wrapped up the Fragrant Lotus Vine. Although this matter was somewhat troublesome, the final outcome was still quite good.

Compared to the notorious reputation of Wei Meidai and others, the main character of this wrongful incident, Baili Hongzhuang, had gained increasing prestige in the Canglan Academy.

Even though everyone knew about her marriage to Emperor Beichen, many men still regarded Baili Hongzhuang as a goddess, and some women even idolized her.

Even when facing Gu Cangyun, Baili Hongzhuang could still argue with reason. This courage alone was admirable.

Days returned to tranquility, and Baili Hongzhuang used the points she obtained from the auction to cultivate in seclusion within the Training Tower.

Little Black, Little White, and White Lion followed Baili Hongzhuang into seclusion to cultivate. Although the points were spent rapidly, Baili Hongzhuang's strength was rapidly improving as well.

Seven days later, a piece of news swept through the entire Canglan City.

The Mercenary Guild issued a high-reward task, despite it being only a blue-level mission.

It turned out that after the outbreak of the beast tide in the Luo Yun Mountain Range, a poisonous forest appeared on the eastern side of the mountain range.

Some people passing by the poisonous forest heard the roars of beasts from within, but they were hindered by the poisonous gas and had to retreat.

Upon receiving this news, the Mercenary Guild released a blue-level mission, requiring cultivators to investigate the situation in the poisonous forest and offering generous rewards.

This type of mission had appeared in the history of the Mercenary Guild before, but its frequency was not high.

After all, this kind of mission was equivalent to an unknown task. Only after going to investigate would one know what was inside.

The reason it was classified as a blue-level mission was based on the Mercenary Guild's assessment of the potential danger according to the information they had.

Based on the mercenary ranks—yellow, green, blue, purple, and red—missions from the guild were also divided into these five levels.

The higher the level, the greater the danger. Blue-level missions were moderately dangerous, with a certain level of risk but not excessively high.

Therefore, after the mission was announced, many cultivators set off to explore the Luo Yun Mountain Range.

On this day, Baili Hongzhuang and the others arrived at the back mountain together.

Since the previous experience of the beast tide in the Luo Yun Mountain Range, they hadn't come to the back mountain for quite some time.

Compared to ordinary students, they, as special admissions students, had much more freedom.

If it wasn't for Emperor Beichen notifying her, she was afraid she would still be cultivating in seclusion in the Training Tower today.

Shortly after everyone gathered in the back mountain, Lu Huaiyan and Fu Hongbo also arrived.
